THE International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) is holding an online training session that aims to prepare pharmacists for working with the WHO Interagency Emergency Health Kits (IEHK) before being deployed to an emergency or disaster.
The IEHK are commonly used by aid organisations when responding to emergencies and contain only 80 medicines.
The challenge, said the FIP, is to use the limited number of medicines rationally and efficiently to provide rapid care to the affected population.
The session will be held on 20 Jan, and be available afterwards on demand - learn more HERE.
